Nami Yamamoto: Primordial Soup

Page Content

Terminal E

Philadelphia artist Nami Yamamoto has been re-creating the series Primordial Soup for several years. Yamamoto's colorful, flat, cutout shapes are inspired by bubble formations-from a simple circle to complex intersecting orbs. The carefully composed abstraction features 430 bubble-like elements. Some hover off of the wall balanced on pins of varying lengths while others are rhythmically scattered on the floor. Isolated or densely overlapping, the various forms are seemingly synergetic thriving only en masse.
